Donna De Lory’s bliss-kissed interpretation of George Harrison's My Sweet Lord is the first track from her forthcoming new album, The Unchanging. A sultry conga groove, swirling synths, plaintive sitar and Donna’s own divine voice take this pop spiritual classic to a whole new realm. Chilled-out mantra magic transports this classic tune straight into the 21st Century, while the boundless grace and profoundly felt devotion of Donna's vocal performance are infused with the endless yearning for Divine Union that compelled the contemplative Beatle to write the song. 

“This is the first chant I ever sang as a little kid,” she says. “And on some vibrational level it’s stayed with me ever since. For me, the song is a connection - a bridge between the chanting world and the pop world. I’ve always been inspired by the way George Harrison brought his spiritual path to the forefront of his music.” 

Donna first performed the song at a recent Bhakti Fest, spontaneously deciding to sing it for the audience. “We totally improvised it,” she says, “and it got recorded on a video camera. I got the audio from the camera and built the whole track around a loop I made from the groove that was heard at Bhakti Fest. At the beginning of the recording, you can even hear the audience going ‘yeah! Woo-hoo!’ So it has awesome energy. I want people to dance to this."

My Sweet Lord is just one track from The Unchanging. Occasioned by the recent passing of her father, it is one Donna's most personal, life-affirming and heart-rendingly beautiful recordings to date.

Her intention was clear: to create music that brings forth a feeling of oneness with all things, and takes us back to a place of innocent joy and freedom."
